Setting Up Multicamera Editing

You learned to prepare group clips in the previous sections. In this section, you reap the benefits of group clips by using them for multicamera editing. This is where the fun begins. You edit a group clip into the timeline, enable MultiCamera mode, and play back as you cut between cameras in real-time.

Note: The process from this point forward will somewhat resemble a live master control room, into which multiple iso lated camera feeds (ISO cams) are sent. There is a person whose job role is “switcher” and a director who watches all the feeds and calls the shots by using terminology such as “Ready 2. 2!” That means “Prepare to switch to ISO Camera 2” and the second “2” means “Go!”

Although there are multiple isolated cameras feeding into the switcher, only one video is coming out at a time. That output is called the “linecut.”
